Spent 2 hours yesterday cleaning the bike. Just been out again for an hour with a rag, cotton buds and white spirit cleaning the wheels and getting them gleaming. Doesn't matter how long I spend on doing it, there's always more could be done!

I've been sat dipping the cotton buds in the white spirit then getting right into the corners of the spokes. Very satisfying!

Lol, I can't wait to get an off roader. That way I can have my dirty slag for riding in the filth, and my sparkly princess to ride on the track/road

Have I done your bike? (Can't remember!) If I have then the white spirit will be taking all the ACF50 off.

Not yet. But I'm hoping to get it to you soon. Just waiting for the bank manager (aka the missus) to say I have spare funds!

As Jon W say's, ride it much more fun, could spend hours cleaning it, but it wont be better then going for a ride :)

You should see my bike its minging. once a week it gets a good wash but its always dirty as I use it work. I love riding it.

Nooj, is you who was at Aprila Performance last year?

If I spent that much time cleaning I wouldn't want to ride it in case it got dirty again. Hose down and wipe over once a week and maybe a bit of polish if its not raining
